Hey, Californians: Let's Try Something

Here's my idea. We need 121 people, from all over the state. The only qualification is that you must be a Californian and willing to see the experiment through to its concusion. Democrats, Republicans, and others are all invited; indeed, I’d rather you kept your party affiliation and preferences to yourself while participating.

We'll organize ourselves into a a mock Senate, a mock Assembly, and a mock Governor. Any extra people will work as advisors to the Governor. Let’s see if we can pass a balanced budget for California and see how long it takes and where we decide we can make cuts.

Free from political pressures, free from personality conflicts, free from partisan labels to the ideas. Only the strength of our competing ideas to move the agenda forward. If we take the politics out of the process, what do you want to bet we can do a better job of it, and faster, than the real bunch of losers we've elected to Sacramento?
